Certified technicians · Same-day service · 24/7 across Sharjah, with genuine parts and up to 90 days warranty.
The motor is what drives your washing machine — turning the drum to wash and spinning it fast to wring out the water. When it develops a fault, the machine may refuse to spin, turn only weakly, make a loud noise, stop mid-cycle or trip the power. Al Tareeq Home Appliance Repair Services provides expert washing machine motor repair across Sharjah, with certified technicians who diagnose the true cause — from worn carbon brushes to a failed capacitor or control module — and fix it the same day where possible, with genuine parts and a warranty.
From our workshop in Muwaileh Commercial we reach every area quickly. Motor problems are often confused with other faults, so our first job is always an honest diagnosis — because the cheap fix of replacing worn brushes is very different from replacing a motor, and you should never pay for more than the fault actually requires.
A motor problem usually shows itself clearly. Watch for a machine that won’t spin or turn the drum even though it powers on, a drum that turns weakly or only in one direction, loud grinding or buzzing from the motor area, the machine stopping part-way through a cycle as the motor overheats and cuts out, a burning smell, or the machine tripping the breaker. Because a drainage blockage or a faulty door lock can also stop the drum turning, we always confirm it really is the motor before quoting any motor work.
Here is something worth knowing before assuming the worst: on many washing machines with universal motors, a very common cause of a weak or absent spin is simply worn carbon brushes — small, inexpensive components that carry power to the motor. When they wear down, the motor loses power or stops, which can look exactly like motor failure. Replacing the brushes is a fraction of the cost of a new motor. A good technician always checks the brushes, capacitor and control board first, and that is exactly what we do — checking the cheap, common causes before ever recommending a motor replacement.
Careful and transparent, from the first call to the final test:
If the motor itself has genuinely failed, whether to replace it depends on the age and value of the machine. On a good-quality or newer machine, a motor or control-board repair is usually worthwhile; on an old, basic machine that has already needed repairs, a replacement machine may be the smarter spend. We give you straight advice with a clear quote, so you can make the right decision — and in many cases the fix is a cheap set of brushes or a capacitor, not a motor at all.
Cost varies widely, which is why diagnosis matters. Carbon brushes or a capacitor are quick, inexpensive fixes; a motor control module (inverter board) is a larger job; a full motor replacement is the biggest, involving a high-value part and more labour. The brand, motor type and part availability all play a part. We test the cheap, common causes first and quote upfront, so you never pay motor-replacement prices for a brush-level problem — and you only ever pay for approved work.
A few habits reduce strain on the motor. Avoid overloading, which forces the motor to work harder and wear faster, and balance heavy loads rather than spinning a single item alone. Keep the machine level and firm so it does not vibrate excessively. Clear pockets so nothing jams the drum, and address a weak spin or new noise early rather than running the machine hard until the motor fails. Regular care keeps the motor healthy and delays the most expensive washing machine repairs.
Because a brush change and a motor replacement are very different jobs, we always quote after diagnosis. As a guide:
| Service | Cost Guide |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis & testing | Free with any repair |
| Carbon brush replacement | Quoted before work |
| Motor capacitor replacement | Quoted before work |
| Motor control / inverter board | Quoted after diagnosis |
| Motor replacement | Quoted after diagnosis |
You always know the price before we begin, and the call-out charge is adjusted against the repair when you proceed — so you only pay for approved work.

My machine won’t spin — is it the motor?
Not always. It’s often worn carbon brushes or a capacitor, or even a drainage or door-lock fault. We test to find the real cause before any motor work.
What are carbon brushes and why do they matter?
They’re small parts that carry power to many washing-machine motors. When they wear down the spin weakens or stops — an inexpensive fix that’s often mistaken for motor failure.
Is a motor repair worth it?
On a newer or good machine, usually yes. On a very old machine we’ll advise honestly whether replacement makes more sense.
My machine stops part-way through — why?
An overheating motor, a control-board fault or a tacho sensor issue can halt the cycle. We diagnose which and fix it.
Can you repair inverter and direct-drive motors?
Yes — we work on universal, inverter and direct-drive motors and their control boards across all major brands.
Can you come the same day?
Yes, in most cases, and we offer 24/7 emergency support across Sharjah.
Which brands do you repair?
All the major ones — Samsung, LG, Bosch, Siemens, Whirlpool and more — using genuine or OEM-grade parts.
How long do carbon brushes last?
Typically several years, depending on how heavily the machine is used. When they wear down the spin weakens or stops — replacing them is quick and inexpensive, and often restores the machine completely.
Does a burning smell mean the motor is finished?
Not necessarily. A faint smell can come from worn brushes or a slipping belt rather than the motor itself. Switch the machine off and have it checked promptly, as running it can make things worse.
Can you repair the motor without replacing the whole machine?
In most cases, yes. Brushes, capacitors and control boards are all repairable, and even a motor can be replaced — we advise honestly on what’s worth doing for your machine.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes — up to 90 days written warranty on parts and labour, with a return visit if a covered fault comes back.
